Here on Mac I get that if I have too few images with too little overlap to generate a Panorama. Try for > 30% overlap and no huge areas of monochrome.

Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.1 
Affinity Designer 2.2.1 | Affinity Photo 2.2.1 | Affinity Publisher 2.2.1 | Beta versions as they appear.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

Welcome to the Serif Affinity Forums, John. :)

The error message “no panoramas found” doesn’t mean the app is unable to find the images that you can see, it means it’s unable to stitch them together to form a panorama. This may be caused by incompatible angles, or variations in lighting, or simply too little overlap between adjacent images.

Thank you Bruce, I'm new to Affinity and to processing Panos's so that is very helpful and makes sense as I've not had that problem before. These images are definitely <30%.

Thank you Alfred that makes sense, I know these images are <30% overlap.

Hi @John Naughton,

Welcome to the Affinity Forums & I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble!

I'd like to request a copy of the images you are attempting to merge into a panorama currently - can you please upload these to the below link for me?

Once uploaded, please reply here to let me know. Many thanks in advance :)

All the images in a panorama really need to be taken from the same position. The problem here is that the perspective and scaling varies in each image. I am a bit surprised that it doesn’t even attempt to stitch these images, but, if it did, I’m afraid that I would not expect the result to be very satisfactory.

Ideally, you would take images using a tripod, and a telephoto lens. All images should overlap at edges, and the angle you rotate the camera must be small. Images with wide-angle lenses are not suitable for stitching, as the distortions would be too large. E.g. straight lines would not be straight when covered in 2 images. Moving the tripod to diffrent position is another no-go.

you can shoot hand-held, but try to mimic the tripod as close as possible.

I agree with Paul, my best results come from a tripod mount (not moving the tripod position) just rotating the camera and allowing for min 30% and up to 50% overlap has always yielded a good result for me. I have taken many Pano's with a 14mm wide angle and by allowing for 50% overlap have had good results. You can also send these photos to the staff at AP for their analysis.
